Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

Lyrics: meredith salvatori Music: meredith salvatori I walk amongst myself I fray the burning sun I walk amongst the dirt From a time we were not here Paralyzed in the red mist Watching life go on from a distance Clam shut and keep to myself Isolating in the static I am the white noise etched in the fog I am dreams embossed in the earth Told you once, I’m the banshee in the river See me once and drain your soul I watched you crawl on your knees Under the weight of the world Reminding myself of me And as you rest your head, you wonder why everybody left Lying awake in trash Rats on the crawl by my feet Haven’t been clean in a week Watch you pass by on the streets Parallel to suburban streets Not a word, or a thought, or a peep No cash for the bums on the curb Happiness is best when shared Take a look around Nothing but asphalt Nothing but fumes and the scent of diesel burning into my lungs Take a look around Nothing but asphalt Nothing but fumes and the scent of diesel burning into my lungs And I walk amongst myself And I fray the burning sun And I walk amongst the dirt From a time we were not here We are each other Just like two waves in the same ocean Just like two waves in the same ocean (Come on!) I am… I am alone Where did everyone go I am alone, I am alone Where are you now, you left too soon Fading senses Light slipping away Holding onto sanity for now Lying awake in trash Rats on the crawl by my feet Haven’t been clean in a week Watch you pass by on the street Take a look around Nothing but asphalt Nothing but fumes and the scent of diesel burning into my lungs
